8. CONDITION OF PREMISES: Lessees taking possession of the premises and occupying the same for thirty (30) days without giving written notice to Lessor within said period of any defect in the premises shall be conclusive evidence as against Lessee that the premises were in good order and satisfactory condition when Lessee took possession. No promise to alter, remodel, or improve the premises or the Building and no representation respecting the condition of the premises or the Building has been made by Lessor to Lessee. Lessee waives all right to make repairs at the expense of Lessor, or to deduct the cost thereof from the rent. Upon the termination of this Agreement, Lessee shall surrender the premises in as clean and good a condition as when Lessee took possession, ordinary wear or loss by fire or other natural force excepted, failing which Lessor may restore the premises to such condition and Lessee shall pay the cost thereof to Lessor upon demand.

Subject to the services to be rendered by Lessor as set forth in the Schedule, Lessee shall, at Lessees expense, keep the premises generally consistent with the standard maintained by other tenants of premises in the Building during the tenancy. If Lessee does not make repairs promptly and adequately, Lessor
5
may, but need not, make repairs, and Lessee shall pay promptly the reasonable cost thereof. At any time or times, Lessor, either voluntarily or pursuant to governmental requirement, may, at Lessors expense, make repairs, alterations, or improvements in or to the Building or any part thereof, including the premises, and, during such operations Lessor may close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators, or other facilities, all without any liability to Lessee or deduction of rent by reason of interference, inconvenience, or annoyance; provided that Lessee shall have access to the premises sufficient for conduct of Lessees business. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any expense, injury, loss, or damage resulting from work done in or upon, or the use of, any adjacent or nearby building, land, street, or alley, provided that Lessor makes a reasonable effort to minimize the disruption to Lessees business. In the event Lessee requests that repairs, alterations, decorating, or other work in the premises be made during periods other than ordinary business hours, Lessee shall pay Lessor for overtime and other additional expenses incurred because of such request.
10. LIENS: Lessee agrees to keep the premises and the property on which the premises are located free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Lessee.

INDEMNIFICATION: Lessee waives all claims against Lessor for loss or damage to property, or to Lessees furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory, supplies, work in process, or finished goods, in, upon, or about the premises, and for injury to persons in, upon, or about the premises from any cause arising at any time, unless such loss or damage is caused solely and directly by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lessor harmless from and against any claims, demands and against liability for any damage or injury to any person or property arising from the use of the premises by Lessee or from the failure of Lessee to keep the premises in good condition as herein provided.

Lessee will pay for all damage to the Building and to the tenants and occupants thereof caused by the misuse or neglect of the premises by Lessee or its invitees. Lessee shall immediately defend Lessor at Lessees expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor against any claims, demands, or liability for which Lessee has indemnified Lessor pursuant to this Agreement without the requirement that Lessee shall first be determined to be liable for such claim or demand, and without the requirement that either Lessor or Lessee shall have first paid any amount whatsoever on account of any such claim or demand.
12. INSURANCE: Lessee at Lessees expense shall provide and keep in force during the tenancy and for the benefit of Lessor and Lessee a commercial general liability insurance policy with recognized casualty insurance company (ies) qualified to do business in California, protecting Lessor and Lessee against any and all liability occasioned by any occurrence in an amount not less than that specified in the Schedule.

If Lessors insurance rates for the premises are increased at any time during the term as a result of the nature of Lessees use and occupancy of the premises, Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for the full amount of such increase immediately upon receipt of demand from Lessor therefor. Such increase shall be prorated as of the expiration of the term, if applicable.
13. SUBROGATION: Lessor and Lessee hereby waive all rights of subrogation which their respective insurers might have under all policies of insurance now existing or hereafter purchased during the term by either Lessor or Lessee, insuring or covering the premises or any portion thereof, or Lessees leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, equipment, personal property, business, or operations in, on, or about the premises.

A total destruction of the Lessee Suite or the Building in which the premises are located shall terminate this Agreement immediately.
In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to any of the provisions of this Paragraph 16, rent and Lessees portion of any property tax increase shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and shall be paid to the date of the termination. In no event shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any damages resulting to Lessee from the happening of such casualty or from the repairing or reconstruction of the premises or of the Building, or from the termination of this Agreement as herein provided, nor shall Lessee be relieved thereby or in any such event from Lessees obligations hereunder except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly stated in this Paragraph 16.
18. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Assignment of this Agreement by Lessee or subletting of all or any portion of the premises is expressly prohibited.
19. EMINENT DOMAIN: If the whole or any substantial part of the Building or appurtenant real property shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose, this Agreement shall terminate on the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for such use or purpose. Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. The entire award shall be the property of Lessor and Lessee shall have no interest therein.
20. SUBORDINATION: The rights of Lessee under this Agreement shall be and they are subject to and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter in force against the property, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof.

21. SIGNS: Lessee shall not place any signs, lettering, marks, photographs, or any other material whatsoever, on the interior or exterior of the doors, windows, hallways, or any other place, in, on, or about the premises, the Building, or its appurtenances, without Lessors prior written approval of the size, style, design, color, material, manner of applying or fastening, and location thereof.
22. REMEDIES: If Lessee fails to make any payment of any sum due under this Agreement for three (3) business days after written notice from Lessor, or if Lessee fails to perform any other term of this Agreement for ten (10) days after written notice from Lessor, or if Lessees interest herein, or any part thereof, is assigned or transferred, either
8
voluntarily or by operation of law, then Lessee shall be in breach of this Agreement and, in any such event Lessor may, at its option, terminate this Agreement and Lessees right to possession of the premises by giving written notice to Lessee and repossess the premises and remove all persons and property therefrom. If Lessor terminates this Agreement and Lessees right to possession and repossesses the premises because of a breach of this Agreement by Lessee, Lessor may recover from Lessee all amounts necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessees failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
The termination of this Agreement shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any indemnity provisions of this Agreement which by the terms hereof survive the termination of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Lessees obligations under Paragraph 6, Hazardous Materials.
23. LATE CHARGES; INTEREST:
(a) Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment of rent by Lessee will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any rent is not received by Lessor within three (3) days after such amount shall be due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a one-time late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount. The parties acknowledge that the late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of such late payment. Acceptance by Lessor of the late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Lessees default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent the exercise of any of Lessors other rights and remedies hereunder.
(b) All monetary payments due Lessor hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor within three (3) days after the same are due shall bear interest from the date when due at rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Interest is payable in addition to any late charge due under subparagraph (a) above.
(c) If Lessees rent is delinquent three (3) times in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, a rolling twelve (12) months, then Lessee shall be required to immediately pay to Lessor the sum of six (6) months rent , together with any and all outstanding late charges and interest. Should Lessee not comply with these terms, Lessor has the right to commence termination of this Agreement by giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessee.
24. REMOVAL OF PROPERTY: Lessee hereby irrevocably grants to Lessor the right to enter upon the premises in the event of default by Lessee in the payment of rent or in the performance of any term, covenant, or condition herein contained to be kept or performed by Lessee, and to remove any and all furniture and personal property whatsoever situated upon the premises, and to place such property in storage for the account of and at the expense of Lessee. In the event that Lessee shall not pay the cost of
9
storing any such property after the property has been stored for a period of ninety (90) days or more, Lessor may sell any or all of such property, at public or private sale, in such manner and at such times and places as may be commercially reasonable. Lessor shall apply the proceeds of such sale first to the cost and expenses of such sale, including reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred; second, to the payment of the cost of storing any such property; third, to the payment of any other amount which may then or thereafter be due to Lessor from Lessee under any of the terms hereof; and, fourth, the balance, if any, to Lessee.
25. WAIVER: The waiver by Lessor or Lessee of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement. The subsequent acceptance of rent by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Lessors knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.
26. HOLDING OVER: Lessee shall vacate the premises and deliver the same to Lessor promptly upon the termination of this Agreement. In the event Lessee is holding over without the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor as monthly rent during such holdover period an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly rent in effect at the termination of this Agreement and Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for all costs, expenses, and consequential damages incurred by Lessor as a result of such holdover. The rental payable during such holdover period shall be payable to Lessor upon demand.
27. ATTORNEYS FEES: If either party brings an action or proceeding involving the premises to enforce the terms of this Agreement or to declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same action or proceeding or recovered in a separate action or proceeding, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. Prevailing party shall include, without limitation, a party who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment or the abandonment by the other party of its claim or defense.
28. NOTICES: All notices to be given to Lessee shall be in writing and may be delivered to Lessee personally or by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to Lessee at the premises, whether or not Lessee has departed from, abandoned, or vacated the premises. Notices to Lessor shall be in writing and may be delivered personally to Lessor or by depositing the same in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to Lessor at the address to which the rent is paid.

10
negotiating or securing this Agreement. Lessee agrees to indemnify Lessor against any claim, demand, or liability by or to any broker, agent, or finder, other than Tarlton Properties, Inc.
